Pros

Lots of learning in the beginning of your career, new technologies to learn.

Cons

Lots of fake reviews by Redmond team saying incompetent people leave company which has 0% truth in it. MAQ lost best talent in recent years. They treat employees as slaves. Worst project managers , all so called IIMs who cannot handle anything nor raise voice for employee sufferings. You will be given a project and expect to finish in a timeline which is highly impossible. You end up working for 60+ hours in a week(80 hours doesn't surprise me), spoil ur health, literally i have seen many people crying (yes people do cry only at MAQ). You will be like rice boiling in a pressure cooker thinking of coming out, but the management sits on ur top make sure u suffer with pressure, APM with 0 technical skills will be given as resources, freshers with no knowledge will be ur team and u should deliver project in few weeks. People do think a lot before joining here. Join only when MAQ is the last option or join only u if can sweat and enjoy pressure. Need not to say if you go to office at 8:45:03 also you will lose 1 leave, yes you will !!! GET READY TO BURN UNDER WORST MANAGERS

Pros

Started here right out of college and it’s been a great learning journey. Got hands-on with new technologies, including agentic AI, and worked directly with customers on impactful projects. The company encourages using AI tools to improve productivity. If you’re open to continuous learning, you’ll thrive here.

Cons

Fast-paced environment can be overwhelming at first, but you get used to it and grow quickly.

Pros

There is no any pros

Cons

Employees are treated as tools rather than people, with a strong focus on results and little regard for employee well-being. HR and management appear to be aligned primarily with the company's interests. Compensation growth is limited, and long working hours are common. The day often starts with meetings at 8 a.m., requires office attendance from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and continues with additional meetings until as late as 10 p.m.
